Far away, there was a special land. Where peaceful dragons lived peaceful lives. Until the attack. Vicious creatures seeking final extinction for the dragons. You are their last hope. You are Space Harrier!

Deadline for high scores is April 28, 2011. Start on the default difficulty, do not use continues.

Lately, it has seemed almost pointless to put much effort into these games, even though I promised a proper defense. It's like kicking a dead dog. Why don't we pick a few from Sonic's list a while? Maybe participation will pick up some. We're almost at the point where I don't even need to try. Just have to post something. I've even given out some free games to possibly add more contenders.
Sonic R usually presents a most worthy challenge when he has the game. I wouldn't mind giving some of these a go. A few are extremely hard compared to their 16-bit counterparts. Another suggestion would be to get an emulator disc for a Dreamcast system. It's cheap and I've only noticed a 20%-30% decrease in my scores on some games when I've tried it.
Alien Syndrome
Altered Beast
Black Belt
Cloud Master
Fantasy Zone III: The Maze
Galaxy Force
Gangster Town (light gun)
Ghouls & Ghosts
Paperboy
Power Strike
Rastan
Rescue Mission (light gun)
Space Harrier 3-D (there is 2D mode)
Strider
Thunder Blade
Transbot
Wanted (light gun)
Zaxxon 3-D (has 2D mode)

Man, I used to be better at this... Oh, and I saved Sonic R's list, so now you can count on seeing less obscure games from now on.

I love the occasional hidden gem game, but maybe only 1 out of 5 should be obscure. I kind of know how getting left out by game choice can be since I've been getting that all season on 5200 so far, even though I have like 40 games. I'd much rather see more players and participation which more common games bring.

Slight improvement: 3,167,510

Is there 1 or 2 games you would really like to see played in the 5200 HSC? I'm thinking of starting a bonus 2 pack round.I know atariron82 wants to play Looney Toon's Hotel.

Hmm. I never found that one, but a 2-pack of the "paddle games" Kaboom! + Super Breakout would be cool. Maybe even some homebrews and protos. I'll PM you a list of what I've got.

Looney Toon's Hotel is a proto, Kaboom! sounds great. That one hasen't been played before in the 5200 HSC.I'll go with Looney Toons Hotel and Kaboom! for the next 2 pack. And i'll put Super Breakout (Breakout Mode) on the next game poll. That game hasen't been played for awhile.
